8 Stars Under 30 Shaping the Future of WWE and AEW | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

From undefinable to undeniable.

There was a point in her NXT career where it was clear that Rhea Ripley had no idea who she was. Fast forward eight years later and the Australian is one of the biggest stars in pro wrestling's most prominent company; one on par with her male counterparts and a central figure in the company's creative.

This is despite currently being out of action with a shoulder injury.

A former women's world, Raw, SmackDown and NXT women's champion, she has climbed the mountaintop at every level and held gold while defeating some of the top stars in the industry.

Shayna Baszler, Asuka, and Charlotte Flair all fell at the feet of The Eradicator while a young, impressionable Dominik Mysterio simply fell for her. As The Judgment Day's resident "Mami," she saw her star rise to a level she could never have imagined, cementing herself as one of the focal points of WWE's flagship show, Raw.

She defeated Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL and despite an injury that forced her to the sidelines, is at the center of a feud with Liv Morgan that will see her return to be an even bigger star as a vengeful babyface.
